A Strategy for Woodworking #25: Agreement

You may have noticed. Woodworkers are almost always right in their opinion of things. Hard to find one who doesn’t completely agree with his last statement. Most of them are confident in their ability to be right. Almost all of the time too.

Therefore I have come up with two axioms about woodworkers that I know to be true. I am also a woodworker so this must be right.

These two things are the only things that woodworkers can agree upon.

Number One: Wood moves.
Now that doesn’t mean you’ll pay attention to this fact, but it is true and inviolable and a fact. Wood moves. Pay attention to this.

Number the Second: Other woodworkers don’t know what the heck they’re talking about. Also inviolable and a fact.

It’s why we work alone so we can agree with ourselves and our superior line of reasoning every day. Thank you.
